Petoskey planners to consider sign ordinance revisions tonight

Proposed updates to Petoskey's sign and zoning ordinances will be a topic of discussion for city planning commissioners when they meet Thursday, Oct. 16.

The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at city hall, 101 E. Lake St. It will include a public hearing on the potential ordinance changes.

Changes proposed for the zoning ordinance focus on temporary sign placement, while the zoning ordinance updates would deal with residential fencing and corner clearance rules.

The planning commission previously had supported new language concerning these topics and forwarded it to the city council for final consideration. But council members decided in August to send it back so planning commissioners could address various concerns.

Planning officials have since discussed the proposed ordinance language and made some revisions.

Thursday's planning commission agenda also includes:

- consideration of a parking plan for 500 Madison St., where a current Fifth Third Bank drive-through branch is proposed to be expanded with medical office space;

- discussion of a proposed rezoning of 517 Monroe St. from multiple-family residential to office service and scheduling of a public hearing on the matter for later; and,

-discussion of the current draft of the Blueprint Petoskey master plan update and scheduling of a public hearing date.
